Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that can delay muscle fatigue and increase endurance and strength. In the body, beta-alanine increases the level of L-carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine helps muscles soak up excess hydrogen ions released during intense exercise, which make muscles more acidic and contribute to muscular fatigue and decreased strength. Taking a beta-alanine muscle buffering formula before workouts can help you work out harder with less fatigue so you grow stronger, faster.*

High intensity exercise causes acid to build up in the muscle, causing fatigue. Beta-alanine helps buffer this muscle acid (hydrogen ion) build-up by increasing the body's carnosine levels. This delays muscular fatigue and can increase total work done during a strength training session by up to 20%.* Clinically studied dosages range from about 3,000 to 6,000 mg daily. Each capsule contains 750 mg of beta-alanine.
